"Al Capone was 9 yrs old when the Cubs last won World Series...now think about that."
Pete Rose
Well, I did. I think a gambling addict is always thinking about gambling, hence the Capone drop.

Al Capone is pretty much the only recognized public figure associated with Chicago from 100 years ago.

Or would you rather him had mentioned Eliot Ness instead?

Paddy Murphy would have been a good choice as well along with Ness.

Capone was 9 and lived in Brooklyn the last time the Cubs won the world series. I'd bet the house Rose didn't mention him because of "Chicago" associations 100 years ago.

Rose also said that winnin the World Series was the best three days of his life. The worst? Losing the World Series


Was kind of expecting a different 'worst moment' for him

Don't expect you to get it. Everyone else does. Your type is rarely in on the joke.

You either don't know what calm means or you just want the last word. Probably both. It's all yours snowflake.
